I have an umbilical hernia that occasionally causes minor pain and a percolating sensation. Recently, I experienced constipated diarrhea followed by liquid diarrhea with blood. I am concerned about a possible intestinal obstruction or strangulation. What are the specific signs of a blocked or strangled intestine, and should I be worried about my current symptoms?

What virus infections can live in the nose after 6 months? I've used antibiotics a few months ago but they didn't do anything as they didn't think it was bacterial. The symptoms are sneezing, itchy nose, red inside of nose with white dots and mucus. Chronic Sinuses. I've seen a doctor several times and got tested for bacteria and viruses, all came out negative. Have you heard of viruses living in the nose for longer than 6 months or maybe it's fungus?

My stepfather is an 86-year-old white male with type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and 5-6 stents in his heart. He was recently hospitalized for pneumonia and now has a fever of 102°F with chills. He is somewhat dehydrated and has difficulty walking with a walker. Should he return to the hospital or go to the nursing home as scheduled?
